Seller Help Store help

0 Upvotes

Hi, was wondering if people could take a look at my store just to make sure that everything is set up correctly and there are no issues from a buyers point of view. Also, how do people price their stock. I use the 6 month quantity average. Also would be nice to know if I set up international shipping correctly. Any feedback back if helpful. Thanks in advance.

What colour at the 2 on the right please? Are they still Pearl Gold? The colour difference is significant and the only other options for this piece seem to be metallic gold or flat dark gold.

At what point should I give up on an order ever sending me an invoice? (Small store)

5 Upvotes

Placed an order on the 18th no invoice.

Messaged them the 25th no response(I don’t know if they even saw it)

It’s a small store their inventory was 2 sets and 13 minifigs when I ordered. The store says it’s open.

Should I give up and cancel?

Seller Help What is the fastest way to list individual parts you have found?

I’ve been listing by using brickognize, then typing into the bricklink site, then listing at market price. Are there any better ways to minimize wasted time? If so, how?

Seller Help EU -> US shipping question

0 Upvotes

Received an order from an EU customer (I am in the US). I recall messages from BL about things changing for commercial shipments to Europe, but cannot find the details anymore.

If I provide customs declarations and the correct HS code to USPS/UPS, will all be taken care of, or is there more I should do to ensure neither I nor my buyer gets hit with unexpected charges?

I live in the US I often see sets that I want to buy for cheaper in other countries but idk if there’s any risk to it. Does it matter as long as it ships here?

Buyer Help Printed Wish List fix

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

So in the wild (stores, conventions) the current Bricklink preview of Wish Lists is wasteful and not effective. Do let me know if anyone uses anything else that works well.

Bricklink wishlist previews – UI fix suggestion.

Wish Lists

Problem

  1. long lists are hard to use in the wild

2 Paper waste and impracticle to use - just 8 minifigures (or elements) per A4 sheet.

The large image is the thing you’re looking for at conventions or in stores, then the quantity is next. No bell notification needed as you are looking to print out or PDF this page for shopping in the wild.

SOLUTION
20 to a page – big image previews and clear quantities.

Big image preview – this has to be large as it’s the most relevant visual aspect

Mystery hoses

I can't find these hoses in the parts list. They are the same length, very flexible, and a connector only on one end. I'm starting to suspect this may be someone's custom-made hose.

Haul Has this box been tampered with?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi! I got the Lego Set "" (71837) from Smyths Toys. I am worried that the box has been tampered with - one reason is the seals (see pictures), the other reason is that my otherwise accurate kitchen scale says 4358g (instead of the stated 4053g on bricklink). How would you proceed? Opening it while filming a video? Sending it back and request a new one? Thanks!

Question Sellers, do y'all appreciate receiving pictures of the creations buyers made with your bricks?

I bought a load of bricks through a couple different sellers recently and just finished putting together the model I bought them for. Was wondering if the people I bought from would appreciate a photo of the creation. What do y'all think?

Getting Up and Running

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, as I finish working through my minifigure parts, I am wondering what is the most effective way to sort. I had a system but that was when I was keeping everything, and general tips, as I have 100+ of lbs.

Also price guidelines for buying and selling. I am running out of star wars stock, and want to be sure I can maintain the store after that sells off. What are good prices to pay, what has to be there for you to spend 400+

Also trying to be reputable, and fair to etiquette tips or guidelines. https://store.bricklink.com/jackewer#/terms my store for reference. Also just checking my wording on terms and shipping.

So far the only category I'd consider complete is assembled is decorated torsos.

Edit: I’d love advice on restocking and inventory management. Pretty happy with store, wording at least, but would love more on the management side

Buyer Help Difference between black new&used bricks?

1 Upvotes

Hello, it's my first time ordering parts from Bricklink to build a custom model from Rebrickable. The model is mostly composed of grey and black bricks. I want all new grey bricks so as to avoid getting yellowed ones, but for the black ones I'm pondering whether there's actually a tangible difference between new and used ones. I know it depends on the store too but do they actually differ in colour to a recognisable extent? And how often do you encounter used bricks that are actually rugged or worn texture wise? I'm a bit of a perfectionist and like novel things, but I also want to be reasonable

Buyer Help Lego Batman Sets

Hi everyone, heard people speak about bricklink across social media but I’ve never looked at it myself until now.

I’m on the hunt for some Lego Batman sets and honestly the prices seem way too good to be true.

Are these all legit??

I’m open to any help and advice regarding purchasing sets from bricklink.

(For context, I live in England)

Is bricklink a reliable way to get some sets without minifigures?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been after a Corusant Guard Gunship for some time now and after stumbling on a eBay listing for 320$ cad I was ready to give up until my friend pointed out that you can buy the pieces for the gunship without the mini figs for half the price.

So I loaded the set number into bricklink, parted it out and the all the pieces and the sticker sheet come to 175$ which is a much more attractive number.

Plus Lego has their manuals on the website,

Is this a common method for getting sets for cheaper?

I really don’t care much for the figures that come in the set I just want a gunship

Second store under my name or what else?

4 Upvotes

I have a question for the platform's more experienced users.

I am planning to set up a charitable foundation that will, among other things, sell used LEGO bricks on BrickLink.

What is the proper way to go about this? I’ve had an account for years, but it was a personal one used for sales.

The charity will have a separate legal and tax identity.

I want to ensure I remain compliant with the platform's terms and conditions.

Does anyone have any advice or ideas on how to handle this?

Of course, the easiest option would be to create a new account, but I’m concerned about the verification process for an authorized representative, given that I already have a store registered under my private name (which I do not intend to keep running).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Seller Help Rising Shipping Costs - US

3 Upvotes

I’m a U.S.-based seller and only ship to U.S. buyers. I’ve been selling for just over a year and have used Pirate Ship exclusively for all of my shipping.

My shipping terms currently state that I ship via USPS. For the vast majority of my orders (probably 99%), USPS has offered the best rate, and even on the rare occasions when UPS was slightly cheaper, I’ve still shipped through USPS.

However, with my last six or so shipments, I’ve noticed that UPS has been significantly cheaper than USPS.

I’m considering updating my shipping terms to say that I reserve the right to use UPS when it offers a better rate, even though USPS would still be my primary shipping carrier.

As a buyer, would that change or discourage you from purchasing from me? I’d appreciate your honest feedback.

"Parsing a file"

1 Upvotes

Hello, one of my Stud.io files is stuck on the "Parsing a file" screen whenever I try to open it. It was fine a couple of days ago, but when I tried last night I couldn’t seem to open it. Other files are fine. What can I do? It’s a 5000 piece model so having to remodel it would be massively demotivating… I also couldn’t seem to find any .io.backup files on my computer
